In the reception hall of the management the guests drink tea and shower Natalia Vasilievna with questions about the labor conditions and daily life of the plant's workers.

"Does the enterprise pay for the club, the kindergartens, and the nurseries?" they ask.

"Don't you fire pregnant women?" interrupts Robert Bowers.

The workers who are present break out in laughter, such a question sounds so weird to them.

"And what are the conditions of work for the women in the United States?" Valia Koroleva asks in her turn.

"Very few of our women work," Professor Bowers answers quickly. "They are busy with their household affairs."

Mrs. Baldwin, with a refined smile, hands the girl some color photographs. They show her family in a country house and a large automobile.

"And who is your husband? Is he from the workers or from the peasantry?" asks Masha Safonova.

"Oh no!" exclaims Mrs. Baldwin.

"Then why do you speak for all American women?" asks someone from among the Americans themselves.

The talk at the Red October factory lasted almost 3 hours, and ended only when all questions had been settled.

Two buses with 35 American guests arrived at the chief vestibule to the Lomonosov MGU. Some of our students had gathered in the hall.

"It is vacation time now," is his answer. "Visit us again in the fall or winter. Then, of course, there will be more students."
